Background Google Calendar app has an action item that dynamically change according to the current day ("today"): I'm required to do a very similar thing, but with a slightly different image that surrounds the text. The problem I did succeed to make it work, by creating a Drawable that has text and image in it (based on here ). However, I'm don't think I did it well enough : Text font might be different across devices, so might not fit well in what I wrote. Not sure if it's because of the VectorDrawable or the text, but I think the text doesn't seem so centered . Seems a bit to the left. This

How does one create this? If you try using a Toolbar and you have inflated MenuItems you'll quickly find out that your Toolbar layout will shrink in width so it does not overlay the MenuItems. The only thing that comes to mind is inflating a layout and adding it to the Window as an overlay that sits on top of the ActionBar.

At the moment, the search icon is gray in color, and is obviously different from the white text of "Demo Search". Edit: Based on some suggestions, I created a new icon using pure white (to be exact, RGB=255,255,255), and use it in place of the android:ic_menu_search.
